The Vermindom of Szczuropolis is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Control Group with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 42.173 billion Szczuropoles have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, although Administration, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rock Fort. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Szczuropolinesian economy, worth an astonishing 19,008 trillion auriculas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an amazing 450,720 auriculas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Much of Szczuropolis's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, people say chess victor the Control Group can kill you with mind-bullets, and citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Szczuropolis's national animal is the fancy white horned rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is amalgamated cheesetianity and cheeselam.

Szczuropolis is ranked 5,187^th in the world and 4^th in Dragon for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,678.83 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
